Publisher Comments:

Millions of people already live their lives in accordance with Rob Brezsny's "Real Astrology" prophecies. But the time has come for a deeper dose of Brezsny's brain. The Televisionary Oracle is an archetypal roller-coaster that would make Rumi dizzy and leave Carl Jung gasping for breath.

About the Author

Rob Brezsny writes "Free Will Astrology," a syndicated weekly column that reaches nine million readers in over 100 publications, including the Village Voice, where it has appeared every week since January 1999. It is also published on his website, at www.freewillastrology.com, and is distributed through a weekly email newsletter with 26,500+ subscribers.When Utne Reader named Brezsny a "Culture Hero," it observed: "With a blend of spontaneous poetry, feisty politics, and fanciful put-on, Brezsny breathes new life into the tabloid mummy of zodiac advice columns."In its profile of Brezsny, The New York Times quoted a reader who compared his writing to that of Tom Robbins. The horoscopes "are like little valentines, buoyant and spilling over with mischievousness. They're a soul prognosis."Before The Televisionary Oracle, Brezsny's enduring artistic artifacts were music albums, one created as a solo artist and three with the band World Entertainment War, which recorded for MCA. One of World Entertainment War's albums was nominated for a "Bammy," California's version of the Grammies, and benefited from the promotional wizardry of rock's top impresario, Bill Graham, who managed World Entertainment War until his death.Brezsny's latest book, Pronoia Is the Antidote for Paranoia, can be seen here.

I gobbled up every last morsle he fed me and licked the plate then looked around on the floor for crumbs. Thank Rob that I manifested this book through you. This book is what is inside me that was never allowed to come out and play. You speak for me. PS Im a natural red-head and a gorgeous sphinx of a goddess and if you are available, I'd love to join you in spontaneous performance art in a dirty toilet any day. Rob, I think you may BE the Goddess incarnate. Don't get yourself crucified or anything like that but if you do, will you come back as my favorite food so I can taste you and have you inside my body and make you part of me? You already are, you know. I'm not a crazed lunitic fringe fan I'm a soul seeker seeking souls like yours to eat so they can become part of me. You make me hungry and satisfied at the same time. Can I say I love you without sounding obsessed? Can I say I'm obsessed without sounding in love? Well, I am. And you are too. With everyone and everything. God, you turn me on!!! That's all!
